Sugar cane water chestnut

Sugar cane water chestnut

Overview

Cantonese people like to put a sugar cane with leaves next to the stove before the Chinese New Year, which means to thank the stove. I don’t know what it means specifically, but it may be to thank the stove master... When the New Year is almost over, they will mix the sugar cane with other ingredients, such as carrots, water chestnuts, coriander, etc., and boil a pot of sugar cane water, especially for children to drink more... Sugarcane is extremely rich in nutritional value, containing a variety of amino acids and organic acids, which can benefit the stomach, promote body fluids, and moisturize the lungs. During the Chinese New Year, if you eat too much food that makes you angry, you might as well boil some sugarcane water and drink it!
